Kommentar	Please follow the "comment" link above for more information on comments, course readings, course requirements and grading. Edwidge Danticat is arguably the foremost Haitian writer in English. In effortless prose seamlessly entangling the beautiful with the tragic, Danticat evokes the fortitude and the plight of the people of Haiti, both in the Caribbean and in the diaspora. In this course, we will sample crucial themes of her öuvre by reading short stories from her first collection, Krik? Krak!, as well as her more recent novel, Claire of the Sea Light. Discussion topics include gender, class, remembrance, environmental devastation, space and place, and dictatorship and exile. Please note that this course takes place synchronously. We will meet online Fridays 10-12 via Discord, an easy-to-use and free-of-charge software which, unlike Zoom, respects your privacy. We will use its voice chat function to discuss the reading questions I post before each session. Also, announcements will be communicated to you via Discord. In conjunction with Moodle, the latter will be indispensable to our seminar. So, if you are disinclined to use that software, I am afraid there is no point in joining this class.
Literatur	Please purchase: Krik? Krak! (twentieth anniversary edition) New York: Soho. Claire of the Sea Light. London: Quercus. Other texts will be made available via Moodle.
Leistungsnachweis	Over the course of the seminar, students will write a learning journal consisting of reading responses and reflections on class discussions (3 credits). To gain 6 credits, students will additionally submit a term paper.
